ODP Supports Secondary Use of Data

• ODP’s focus is on the secondary use of data which supports:

– Population needs assessment – Risk profiling of populations

– Service design and prioritisation – Review of service provision

– Contract and financial management

– Comparative data for performance management, benchmarking and patient choice

Project Organisation:

Enablement / Approvals Stage

• Sponsorship from NHS Commissioning Board • Project being led by the NHS Information Centre

• Involvement and support from NHS Connecting for Health • Seeking input and support (and approval) from Cabinet

Office

Draft Investment Objectives

1) To support reporting against the measures in the Outcomes Frameworks 2) To support current and emerging commissioning and NHS wide

performance management information needs

3) To enable the capture and linkage of person-centred health and care data in pathways across care settings providing information relating to the health care provided to patients and supporting the assessment of the health and wellbeing of local populations.

4) To facilitate greater transparency and openness by providing open access to secondary uses and comparative data for a wide range of users

5) To offer a range of core national services and to enable the potential for additional services at a sub-national or local level

6) To build a platform for a flexible, responsive and scalable system, adaptable to future data and functional requirements

7) To maintain continuity of essential existing services, both during the transition and as a core component of the new services

Users

Potential Scope

How will the data be used ?

Possible Options

How will the data be used ?

Data relating to: - Acute - Community - Mental health - Primary care - Social care - …. -# of datasets Common services .. - Validation - Derivation - Linkage - Pseudonymisation - …. - Standard Reports / Functions - Extraction - Analytics - Tools - …

Architectural Principles

• Separation of components, e.g.: – Data Storage

– Common services, e.g. security, data transmission and loading, viewing tools

– Applications that transform data into information • Why?

– Greater agility and lower cost of implementing change – Supports separation of local from national requirements – Supports contestability and value for money in

Procurement Objective

To enable a contracts ‘ecosystem’ which:

• Facilitates national and local commissioning of services • Manages and reduces cost of build and change

• Leverages the market at multiple levels

• Enables multiple methods of purchase and transaction • Promotes resilience and the maintenance of multiple

options and lines to supply

ODP Enabling Stage Overview

• User engagement

• Supplier engagement: – Market testing

• Development and appraisal of options • Production of :

– outline requirements – procurement strategy – outline business case

Things to Consider

• Think beyond what you have already – be creative! • Start from the business needs of your organisation • How does the service need to develop over time?

• What must the ODP provide nationally and what should be handled locally?

Group Work 1: Business Needs

Questions to consider:

• What are the key success criteria for the ODP?

• What business needs and benefits does the availability of comprehensive, centrally available secondary-use data support?

• What are the short-term requirements that must be met • What is the need in the longer-term

• Where can general duplication in data management activity be reduced (datasets, processing etc)?

Group Work 2: Functional Scope

Questions to consider:

• Central collection and distribution of data sets - What are the key characteristics of such a service?

• What additional functionality would be needed both initially (e.g. pseudonymisation, data validation, PbR and RTT

algorithms) and in the longer term?

• Central processing of data - What data and processing

functions should be carried out at a national level and which are better managed locally?

• Linkage of records in different data sets – What are the

business activities that require this and what are the benefits of doing this centrally?
